8
Well, welcome, Troy.
9
We have chatted on and off for a long time, and I am thrilled to actually have you in studio and the opportunity to chat with you.
10
Thanks for being here.
11
A long-time listener, first-time guest.
12
I'm very excited to be here.
13
All right, shall we get started?
14
Let's do it.
15
I love so many ways you frame things.
16
You describe story theory as essentially the word because.
17
How does understanding causality improve our storytelling?
18
Yeah.
19
So pretty much if you ask any theoretician of story,
20
about one out of two of them will give you a definition that is more or less the word because.
21
They'll talk about causality.
22
So if you read the book Narrative by Abbott Porter, he's going to talk about causality.
23
If you talk to the comics professor Kate Kelp-Stebbins, she's going to tell you it's causality.
24
If you listen to the South Park creators, they'll talk about how in between every scene, what happens in one scene better cause the next thing to happen, right?
25
And causality is just this foundation that really allows us to anchor what we're trying to do when we're telling stories,
26
which is that characters are changing and there's something that's causing them to change.
27
And that cause is what's going to make it a story rather than a bullet point list.
28
I just love the idea of thinking about the change.
29
And that change is because of something.
30
Yes.
31
So not all of us are in situations where we have to tell grandiose stories.
32
We're trying to pitch our business.
33
We're trying to get people aligned to what we're saying.
34
Help us understand how we can tell stories in our everyday jobs.
35
Yeah.
36
What we can do is we can say, you're going to come in to the workplace
37
and you're going to share a piece of information like here's an action
38
that we want to do or here's a data point that's really important
39
and you're going to explain the because behind it
40
and once you start saying because and you say
41
because a couple times it's going to transform something into a story the current sales of this product are down
42
and it's because this thing is happening and a deeper reason is
43
because the consumer cares about this and it becomes this real simplified way to tell in my opinion, what is a story, which is explaining why something has happened,
44
what has caused a character, a set of characters, they could be your consumers to change.
45
It all boils down to that causality.
46
And when you frame it that way, it makes it so much easier to think about how do I, as somebody telling the story, structure it?
47
I first have to introduce the players, the issue, the cause, and then explain the cause that comes from that.
48
So So you start by explaining who the characters are and the components and then the cause that's involved.
49
One of the things that you
50
and I connected on right away is you like I believe very strongly in frameworks and structure.
51
And you have a great structure that I really like, GIA, Goal Insight Action.
52
Can you tell us a little bit about that structure and how can we use it?
53
Yeah.
54
So Goal Insight Action is goal, what your audience cares about.
55
We want to always start with relevance.
56
It is the data, the expertise, the ingenuity, the causality, the reasons that you're going to bring.
57
And action is what your audience can do with it.
58
And if you think about this, you'll actually see it so many times in things, right?
59
It's how Steve Jobs always communicated.
60
He would come up to audiences and, right, of all the people in the world, Steve Jobs could just be like, hey, Apple, we should do this.
61
We should have this Think Different campaign.
62
But instead he comes up
63
and he says the goal we have in the 1990s at Apple is
64
that we need to stand out again that we aren't resonating
65
and The insight and he says this with his hands like it's always even tough.
66
You you're dressed in black.
67
Yeah I know my lady said I looked a little Steve Jobs
68
And he would be like my insight is that marketing is about values
69
and in a world that's really busy how you stand out is focusing on values right
70
and then he says
71
so the action what we're gonna take is we are gonna have the think different campaign
72
which is gonna focus on our core value
73
that we believe in misfits we believe in people who believe
74
that they can change the world and that structure is just
75
so simple it works whenever you're talking about data don't jump
76
to your data say the goal we have at this organization is to reach this consumer
77
or address this fire problem right now some insight we have about the consumer about this moment is this, and the action that we can take to deal with it is this.
78
And we teach organizations the structure, and they love not only the structure, but they love using the words
79
because it creates sort of this collective also culture where they can signpost to their audience
80
because they've both been trained to receive and deliver in goal inside action.
81
And it can just be a wonderful personal habit, but also group habit.
82
Goal inside action, I think, is a fantastic structure.
83
And what it allows you to do, the goal is often something that's commonly shared or based on a value or your mission that's already shared.
84
So you're already halfway there because you're tapping into something that people already believe in and then you're further focusing it.
85
And like any structure, I think with a little practice in ingenuity, this can be a really useful tool.
86
Yeah.
87
And the one thing I would say is like the goal may be the most important part of goal inside action.
88
And it's that even if people have that goal, it's not always active in their brain and
89
so you need to remind people that
90
that is what's important right right um they might even tell you i know
91
that already but there it wasn't they really didn't know
92
that in the moment and those motives were not activated
93
so make sure you always before you're communicating if you can even if it's just one sentence, repeat the goal that they have that you are going to help them with.
94
A goal, I like to say, has a focusing function.
95
It helps you focus.
96
It helps you frame the discussion and highlighting that.
97
And assuming people understand it, and maybe some people say, I already got the goal, still state it.
98
Very good advice.
99
You've developed research on identity, persuasion, and solution aversion.
100
I had to practice saying that several times because I slur the words together.
101
When an audience is highly resistant to the truth due to solution aversion or flight from the facts, as you like to say,
102
how do we as a communicator restructure our message to avoid this?
103
Yeah, so solutions can be very aversive.
104
And because of these solutions, we will often deny that there's even a problem or that we need to engage in that solution.
105
And I often like to think of solutions aversions as coming from two areas.
106
So one is our tangible things and one are more identity based things.
107
So a tangible thing could be just like, I don't want to stop drinking caramel frappuccinos.
108
Right.
109
And when a doctor diagnosed me with these blood sugar problems when I was younger, it was like I had a big frappuccino on my forehead
110
and like deal with this issue
111
or I'm not going to believe any of the science you're telling me about my health issue.
112
And one of the things that he did, Dr. Manuel Fernandez, is the very first thing he did is he's like, here's how your diet is not going to be as bad as you think it was.
113
So before all the science and all this stuff, he was managing my solution aversion that I'd have to that.
114
Now, the second thing, and this is the one that's going to get into one of my favorite kind of storytelling principles, is identity.
115
Right.
116
And oftentimes really what we want to be as people is we don't want to have our identity threatened
117
and we want to do things that feel authentic.
118
Right.
119
And so if somebody is telling you to change your behavior,
120
to be more healthy in your behaviors or you want to
121
or they're telling you to be more creative or they're trying to tell you to tell storytelling, they might even think, you know, that does sound like a good idea.
122
But that's not who I am.
123
That's not me. And
124
so one of the things I really like bringing into this situation is something I worked on in my dissertation
125
and that I now call the destiny narrative.
126
And so the idea behind this is that in all great stories, characters change, but they go through a very specific type of change.
127
They change into who they were always meant to be.
128
The princess was secretly always a princess.
129
The boy on Tatooine looking up at the twin sons longing for more always had the force inside of him.
130
And Moana was always meant to sail across the seas.
131
And we really, really like this thing, not only in these stories, but it works in marketing, right?
132
Unleash your inner goddess.
133
There's a warrior inside of you.
134
So the idea is that we are changing, but we're changing more into who we always were meant to be or who we already are.
135
And it resolves these two psychological motives that are so in conflict all the time, right?
136
I want to improve.
137
I want to have goal progress.
138
I do kind of want to change.
139
But at the same time, I want to be authentic.
140
I want to be me.
141
I want to have some sense of identity consistency.
142
And what the destiny narrative does, it allows for you to stay true and have narrative change at the same time.
143
So whenever I'm trying to persuade people to change, I don't tell them storytelling is good.
144
The very first thing I do is prove to them that they're already a storyteller.
145
And so now all you want to do is you want to do more of
146
that because you want to do more of who you are.
147
You might not be eating healthy, but there are some habits that you have that are already healthy.
148
And that's important to you.
149
So eating healthy now is more consistent with who you are.
150
So much richness in that response.
151
So let me break it down from what I'm taking away.
152
Solution aversion, resistance, hesitation, concern that people bring can be focused on something very tangible.
153
There's something I like doing or don't like doing, and you're threatening me because you're saying I should or shouldn't do that.
154
And a great way to address that is to immediately address that resistance.
155
It's not as bad as you think, or you're well-equipped to deal with this.
156
So address the emotion, the concern, before you layer on all the things that need to be done.
157
And as you were saying that, I was reflecting on my parenting and how poorly I did because I would always lead with, here, all the things you have to do.
158
And, oh, by the way, you can do it.
159
Vice versa would be helpful.
160
And then the other part with the identity piece, and part of what I heard you say there, what's so important is this notion of consistency.
161
You're showing that you're already there or you have that ability and having people reflect on that.
162
So as we go to persuade, motivate, inspire, thinking about those areas of resistance, that challenge or solution aversion,
163
and then thinking about the tangible and identity issues that play out can help us restructure the narrative to motivate people more.
164
That's fantastic.
165
One of the things that you teach and talk about
166
that has fundamentally changed the way I teach and think about my communication is through the lens of portals.
167
When you talked about portals, and I'd like you to define for all of us what they mean, it really changed the way I think about how I start and how I move through my communication.
168
Can you educate us all on what you mean by portals and how we can apply that?
169
Yeah.
170
So my definition of portal is about how to begin an experience.
171
And the idea is that a portal is a way to transition people into an experience, where the point of it is,
172
is that you are getting them ready for the most important parts of the experience.
173
So you might start with a bang but you really don't.
174
You just need to slowly transition people into it
175
and a lot of this is based upon Walt Disney Imagineering
176
and they actually use the word portal to describe how to begin experiences.
177
So when you are walking into the Disney park
178
you go through a tunnel and
179
that tunnel even says like you're leaving the current space you're in
180
and you're going into fantasy tomorrow in the past and that transition time inside of that tunnel
181
and knowing the direction in which you're heading allows you to sort of start transitioning
182
and then when you go on each of the rides they have these ways in
183
which they ease you into the story that that is different for each ride.
184
So in Buzz Lightyear, that is a ride where you're gonna be on the ride
185
and you're gonna be shooting this little laser gun.
186
So the portal into that is a cartoony intro in
187
which Buzz Lightyear gives you a pep talk and they show you the targets.
188
It's silly, high energy, very focused, right?
189
And you can think of like a creativity warmup.
190
They're like, we're gonna be really active later in this meeting, so we do that.
191
But the portal into Haunted Mansion is very different
192
Because Haunted Mansion is a passive ride in which you're going to go through a haunted mansion, and you're going to look around, and you're supposed to look for details.
193
And so the way that introduces you is you walk through a graveyard noticing silly little jokes on the tombstones,
194
and then you get in the stretching elevator where your ghost host literally tells you to look in different directions.
195
And so it's facilitating you into those things.
196
And what they're doing in these portals is they're doing three general psychological things that are overlapping but distinct.
197
One, it's creating anticipation for what's to come.
198
Second, it's getting you in the mindset shift and the specific mindset you're supposed to be in that.
199
And the third is it's previewing the narrative for that experience.
200
So it's not telling you the whole story, but it's giving you enough into the narrative that you're ready to be going.
201
What Melanie Green would call narrative transportation.
202
I think this is such a powerful idea.
203
Many of us in our communication, especially high stakes communication, we focus on what's the message we want.
204
We don't think about how do we bring people to that message.
205
And there are lots of ways to do it.
206
You can think about the calendar invite you send out.
207
That can be a beginning.
208
As you mentioned in a meeting, you can have some kind of icebreaker activity to warm people up as long as it's somehow connected to what comes.
209
What drives me nuts is where you do some kind of icebreaker and then the next task is totally unrelated.
210
Yeah, I mean- It's whiplash almost.
211
It's, yeah, bad.
212
The point of it is we need to activate the right parts of the brain
213
or the right memories for the task at hand.
214
And that's the point of a start.
215
Yeah, and I liked, you know, I played with the three components of what a good portal does to make it alliterative.
216
It's the AAA, it's anticipation, it's approach.
217
And then I couldn't come up with anything besides altitude.
218
It tells you what level we're coming.
219
So, and you can do this, not just at the beginning of your communication, but often in meetings, you might need a portal to bring you into another topic or area.
220
I challenge everybody listening to think about how can we look at this idea of portal,
221
setting people up to be successful in a way that really helps.
222
You know, at the beginning of this show, I try to do that where I give a little bit of introductory idea to help people orient to what it is.
223
I really appreciate that.
224
And Troy, I've appreciated everything.
225
We'll be right back to finish our conversation.

251
And now back to our conversation.
252
As you well know, we always end by asking three questions.
253
One I make up just for you and the The other two I've asked everybody, and I'll be curious to get your answers to that.
254
Are you up for this?
255
Let's do it.
256
All right, so question number one.
257
What's the best piece of communication advice you've ever received?
258
So the best piece of communication advice for me, it really was tailored well to me, came from one of my advisors in graduate school,
259
Dr. Peter Uble, and let me set this up.
260
So I gave my talk on my dissertation and I went in and he sat me down and he said Troy
261
You are one of the most joyful people I've ever met your name even rhymes with joy You sign your emails
262
enthusiastically Troy every time and your dissertation is literally about why people enjoy things and And for 20 minutes,
263
I never saw you smile once.
264
Right?
265
And telling somebody to smile is not always the best advice.
266
But for me, it was.
267
Like, part of why people like engaging with me is that I really love these things.
268
I'm the behavioral scientist who worked at Disney Imagineering.
269
People want that energy and that joy.
270
I'm literally delivering them on science.
271
And so it's great advice for me but it's also like who you are
272
and what you are delivering when you can match
273
that it works really well yeah
274
so striving for congruence between how you feel about something
275
and how you deliver are really important and and i'm glad you got
276
that advice because you do uh radiate joy
277
and excitement um question number two who's a communicator that you admire
278
and why so one person who i really really like in
279
that space is bong joong ho he is the director of the oscar-winning film parasite
280
and also other films like The Host and Snowpiercer.
281
And he is so good at using direction.
282
So in the movie Parasite, if you've seen it, the rich people live on the hill
283
and the poor people live literally down the hill and in the basement.
284
And he uses that up and down constantly for storytelling purposes.
285
In Snowpiercer, it's a movie that takes entirely place on a train.
286
And so one direction is always the back of the train.
287
one direction of frame is always the front of the train.
288
It's a metaphor, but it's also spatial, and it's so wonderful.
289
And after watching a video essay by every frame of painting on the movie Snowpiercer, I was just like, I should just be using space for everything I do.
290
And so I used to be a person who walked around on stage, but just to bring energy.
291
Now I walk, and when I move between parts of my story, I now am in a new position.
292
I'll assign different parts of the stage.
293
Sometimes when I'm being more avant-garde is like this is this is the scientific mind part
294
and this is the artistic heart part
295
and this is just me in the middle troy telling you how I actually feel right
296
and there's the ability to use space to tell story is amazing
297
and it's just so wonderful to watch movies
298
because I get new ideas all the time I like
299
that idea of observing other forms of communication to teach you how to be better
300
but that use of space is really important because you're signaling and and sending lots of information.
301
Human beings are wired to pay attention to space and location.
302
And doing that consciously, I think adds a lot.
303
And I really appreciate that you do a nice job of bringing science and art together.
304
Final question.
305
What are the first three ingredients that go into a successful communication recipe?
306
Yeah, so since we've been talking about, a lot about storytelling, I'll do mine that's based on that.
307
And it's cause, character and change, right?
308
And just those together is really simple.
309
If you're like, oh, I need to make this data presentation more important.
310
Okay, what are my characters?
311
What's causing them to act?
312
What can we do to then change?
313
If you're stumbling on just like a story about your own past,
314
it's like, okay, what caused me to change my mind about something, right?
315
And all of a sudden you have a story.
316
It's just three little tiny bits of things that can do so much.
317
Cause, character, change.
318
You know, I'm going to love it because it's alliterative.
319
So interestingly, I don't know that the order of that matters
320
if you're trying to get it to initiate a story or move a story forward, but you need the three ingredients together.
321
Yeah.
322
And so our brains understand narrative causal structures and they don't need to be told in order.
323
And my friend James Antony does a lot of neuroscience research
324
and how he finds how people connect things and remember things and pair things in the brain based upon causal connections.
325
So if you're watching something, you can watch, you know, an episode of Friends and there you put all your OK,
326
this character is in this plot and I'm connecting it here and I'm connecting these plots.
327
Or you can watch an episode of like How I Met Your Mother that's often told out of order.
328
But your brain can put that all together.
329
Your brain is obsessed with understanding characters.
330
It's a social you're a social creature.
331
and it processes things in logics.
332
And so we can have characters in logical causations.
333
You're just going to reach the brain so well.
334
So well put, as was everything that you shared.
335
Troy, thank you for your time.
336
Thank you for your insights.
337
And thank you personally for impacting the way I communicate.
338
Awesome.
339
Well, it has been great to be on this.
340
And I love what you do here.
341
I love that you also create some of the best type of content that we can deliver to our students, right?
342
You can start a class with a clip from your podcast
343
and really get a ton of information and get the students excited to engage in something.
344
Well, thank you.
345

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn have/has been + -ing — việc bắt đầu từ trước và vẫn đang tiếp tục | I've been thinking · we've been talking |
| Câu điều kiện if + mệnh đề, will/would + động từ — điều kiện và kết quả | if you think about this, you'll actually |
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | have chatted · has happened · has caused |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | been trained · were not activated · were always meant |
Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 105 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ you're, I'm, don't. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “th”: threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, thrill /θɹɪl/
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: aversion /əˈvɜːʒən/, dissertation /ˌdɪsəˈteɪʃən/, mansion /ˈmæn.ʃən/, anticipation /ænˌtɪs.əˈpeɪ.ʃən/, intentional /ɪnˈtɛnʃənəl/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: causality /kɔˈzæl.ɪ.tɪ/, communicator /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪtə/, dissertation /ˌdɪsəˈteɪʃən/, ingenuity /ˌɪnd͡ʒəˈn(j)uːəti/, ingredient /ɪnˈɡɹiːdi.ənt/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, haunt /hɔnt/, ingredient /ɪnˈɡɹiːdi.ənt/, relevance /ˈɹɛl.ɪ.vən(t)s/, resistant /ɹəˈzɪstənt/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: aversion /əˈvɜːʒən/, tangible /ˈtæn.d͡ʒə.bəl/, ingenuity /ˌɪnd͡ʒəˈn(j)uːəti/, restructure /ɹiːˈstɹʌkt͡ʃə(ɹ)/, researcher /ˈɹiˌsɝ.t͡ʃɚ/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: causality /kɔˈzæl.ɪ.tɪ/, tangible /ˈtæn.d͡ʒə.bəl/, podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, mansion /ˈmæn.ʃən/, anticipation /ænˌtɪs.əˈpeɪ.ʃən/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Bắt đầu ở tốc độ 0,75×, nói đuổi từng câu, rồi quay lại tốc độ bình thường khi đã quen.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như portal, insight, dissertation.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
